Best Matzoh Pinwheel Appetizers Recipes

MARVELOUS MATZOH BALLS

Steps:

• Place diced parsnip and carrot in a single layer in a microwave-safe bowl and add a small amount of water. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high power until tender enough to mash, 5 to 10 minutes. Mash.
• Mix shortening with eggs, matzoh meal, 1/2 cup water, salt, and pepper and mashed carrot and parsnip. Add parsley. Mix together.
• Refrigerate covered for 20 minutes.
• Scoop out balls of mixture to desired size and drop into boiling water. Cook in water until light and fluffy looking, about 5 minutes. Matzoh balls are now ready to add to your favorite soup!

CHEDDAR AND BACON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
• Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

MY NOT KOSHER MATZOH

Steps:

• Place the flours, salt, eggs, and half of the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade or an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix or process until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out into a clean bowl and cover with a damp towel, Let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is very thin, like lasagna (number 1 on the pasta machine or as thin as possible without tearing). You should have approximately 6 sheets, about 6 by 10-inches each.
• Place the dough on baking sheets and brush very lightly with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with the salt, thyme, and onion. Bake the matzoh for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
